Antonio Conte started Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata for the third game in a week on Saturday

"Then you have to try to not put your players in difficulty and not to risk this type of player, because Moses for us is an important player, and to play three games in only seven days, it means that you risk.

"With Morata it was the same, but I made the decision to risk Morata in this game, because imagine if I decided to put Morata on the bench?"

Chelsea will be hoping Morata's hamstring issue does not rule him out of their visit to struggling Crystal Palace on Saturday October 14.
